The City's RentSafeTO register — rental apartment buildings of three or more storeys and ten or more units — with the score from each building's latest City evaluation (out of 100; poor scores trigger a full audit). LTB orders are final Landlord and Tenant Board orders naming the address (Jan 2026 – Jun 2026); fire-code violations are open items in Toronto Fire Services' inspection data. Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport. Condominiums and houses are not registered.

Lot count and area from the City's topographic mapping of parking-lot footprints (every visible surface lot, public or private); spaces are estimated at one per 30 m² of lot. Lots not run by Green P are private, commercial or institutional and may be for customers or residents only. Green P spaces and average daily peak occupancy from the Toronto Parking Authority's quarterly dataset (* = capacity from the 2019 car-park list; rates are not shown because that list is stale — check Green P). EV chargers are City-operated only; on-street and underground parking are not included.
Traffic volume
The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Sep 5, 2024
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The south leg carries the load — 10,137 northbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 721. Most cyclists arrived from the north (84 of 193). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,664 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 1,715 from 3:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.
How fast traffic moves here
Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming
The City's counter on Dufferin St between Norton Ave and Ascot Ave (338 m away) recorded an average of 36 km/h in its 3-day count in March 2026; 85% of drivers were at or under 46 km/h. That segment carries about 22,600 vehicles a day.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hope St · Lane W of Day and S of Morrison – Boon Ave · 243 m | Sep 2009 · 3 days | 1,373 | — | — | — |
| Dufferin St · Norton Ave – Ascot Ave · 338 m | Mar 2026 · 3 days | 22,605 | 36 km/h | 46 km/h | 50 km/h |
Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; the 85th-percentile speed is the figure engineers use — 85% of drivers were at or below it. Counts are ad hoc, so some are years old. A midblock reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data.
All police-reported collisions
Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025
2016 was the peak year (9 collisions), and 2025 closed with 5. 24% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 12 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 24% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 8% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 5 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window.

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Apr 8, 2008.
KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.
Thefts reported at this corner
Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025
Toronto Police place one theft from a vehicle and one bicycle theft at this intersection in 2016–2025. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Apr 17, 2026.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Apr 17, 2026. Police offset every occurrence to the nearest intersection before publishing, so these are thefts on the streets and premises around this node, not necessarily at the corner itself. Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see Corso Italia-Davenport.
